No AMD tablets any time soon

bit-tech: "we sat down with Leslie Sobon, AMD’s Vice President of Product and Platform Marketing and Phil Hughes, AMD’s Senior Manager of PR. As this year’s event is more Compupad than Computex, we started discussing tablets.

“There won’t be an AMD tablet this holiday season,” Sobon told us, “we’re happy to be a fast follower in that space - the bulk of the [mobile] market is still 14in devices.” As far as AMD is concerned, targeting low power devices such as phones, slates, pads, pebbles and whatever else you want to call them, would be a big distraction – AMD sees its main opportunity for growth is to bring the fight to Intel and take some of its marketshare."
